This OET Readers’ Version was designed to be used with the Literal Version alongside, so you won’t get the best understanding from this single viewpoint. This is still an early look into the drafted text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.
1 This letter is from Shim’on (Simon) Kefa (Peter; Grk. Petros) , a slave and messenger of Yeshua (Jesus; Grk. Yesus) the messiah (Grk. Christos), writing to those who have faith in the sinlessness of our God and saviour Yeshua Messiah that’s just as precious as our faith.
2 May you experience much grace and peace through your knowledge of God and Yeshua our master.
1:3 God’s calling
3 He has given us everything necessary for life and godliness through his divine power as we know the one who called us to his own glory and moral excellence. 4 Through these things, he has given us precious and very great promises that you will become participants of the divine nature after escaping the corruption in the world of lust. 5 For this same reason, work hard to apply your faith adding moral excellence, and to that excellence add knowledge; 6 to that knowledge add self-control; to that self-control add endurance; to that endurance add godliness; 7 to that godliness add brotherly concern; and to the brotherly concern add selfless love. 8 Because if these things are part of you and continually increasing, your knowledge of our master Yeshua (Jesus; Grk. Yesus) Messiah won’t become useless or unproductive. 9 But if these things aren’t part of someone, that person is shortsighted as if they’ve forgotten that prior cleansing of their sins.
10 So then fellow Christians, work hard to make your calling and election certain—that way you will never fall away—11 and so you will be richly provided entry into the eternal kingdom of our master and saviour Yeshua Messiah.
12 Therefore I intend to always remind you about these things, even though you know them and are already established in the truth that you know. 13 But I consider it right, as long as I live in this tent, to get you stirred up with a reminder, 14 since I know that this tent of mine will soon be left behind as our master Yeshua Messiah himself told me. 15 And I will also make every effort to make sure that you will always remember these things after my departure.
16 ⇔We didn’t follow cleverly crafted fables, but rather having been eyewitnesses of the majesty of our master Yeshua Messiah, we made his power and forthcoming return known to you. 17 Because he received the honour and glory from God the Father when a voice spoke to him with magnificent glory saying, “This is my son that I dearly love and who has pleased me greatly.”[ref] 18 Indeed we heard this voice from heaven ourselves as we had been taken with him to the holy mountain.
19 In addition there are the words of the prophets that were fulfilled which you would do well to pay attention to—like a light that shines in the dark places—until the day dawns and the one who is the morning star rises in your hearts. 20 And know this foundational truth: all of the prophecy in Scripture doesn’t just come from our own interpretations 21 or from the ideas of man, but from God speaking via men being guided by the Holy Spirit.
